Confused Bitter Nightmare Druid

Powers, abilities, and appearances are all due to her nature as the offspring of a minor nature deity and a curious Nightmare. Shapeshifting and strange mental gifts mean she's capable of invading minds, both conscious and unconscious, as well as having permanently available gear that gives fire, plant, and toxin elements. Additionally she's just ... terrifying

-- Minor Plant Control, as a 'druid' she has the ability to sense and shape, heal, or accentuate natural plant life at close range

-- Lucidity / Psychosis Hotspot, anyone that is asleep within about a 500 meter radius of her will be able to be lucid if they so desire. The flip side of this is that anyone who has medium to strong mental issues will definitely have a situation, likely requiring some time off and therapy or at least a little bit of a breather to check meds and health

-- Pyrokinetics, due to the gifted (and... grafted on) items on her hooves, and her various clothing items, she can control fire and create flames as if out of nothing. Able to blast a stream of flames from her hands, immobilize by shaping a cage or a ring around things, or shape it into a burning sword

-- Mind Control and Stun, her tiara lets her glimpse into minds, but doing so usually stuns and begins to corrput them, and she can induce terrors, unusual acts, and dumbfounded silence at will close by

-- Nightmare Control, the sleeping kind, rather than the breed her mother was. Able to enter and control dreams, her range on this is up to 20 miles if she knows the mind, and within 500 meters if it's just some randomly dreaming person. She can break through even strong unconscious mental shields. She usually reserves her worst nightmares - apt to cause panic attacks and 'sleep paralysis demons' to come along afterward - for parents who are bad at parenting, abusive partners, and bullies

-- Genrehop With Shifting, though she doesn't need to 'hop to another dimension to shapeshift, she can appear in bipedal form where a quad or taur aren't appropriate. However she cannot fully shift into a human or into a full horse-like Nightmare either way. She can sense different dimensions worth of dreamers when she is asleep and working, as long as their proximity to 'where she'd be' on their world is near enough, and can reach those with a little concentration

Clusters

Surprising Green Thumb +6 She is first and foremost a nature demigod, born this way, and enjoys putting a spin on those greens you're eating. Sometimes literally, they will spiral out of nothingness into a full lattice of vines maybe in order to bind you, maybe because you're hungry...

Fiery Temper Tempered By Time +3 Chastity has seen a lot of things, in her long life. She's been to many places, and had actual friends, lovers, enemies, and allies. Now that she's been through Paragon City and headed west to Crescent City, and is instructing here at CHS, she does have a lot more to enjoy, and doesn't seem as entirely awful as she might sound

Skills

Oneiromancy As A Habit +4 She sits and jams with the dream instructor Phoebe aka Oneirocritic, as they can compare very snarky notes about the locals and their stupid pants dreams... They won't let Chastity teach that class by the way

Creative Use Of Fire +4 Not just to inflict pain, of course, fire has always been the key to any land-based civilization. Though it burns wood, her other primary focus, some trees need to be burned in order to grow their seeds. A little wood rot can be fixed by a tiny spark; of course, nations can fall from the same tiny spark...

Yes, They're Still Painful +3 Those shoes are stuck straight through her hooves, and even when she is shapeshifted they are there, sharp, hot, and always a reminder that gifts sometimes have a price tag. She can focus this pain into her work of course, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't have them removed if she possibly could

Enjoys Being Bipedal +3 There are times when being a massive nightmare-taur can be a bit constraining, including 'walking through CHS doorways'. As a shifter however, sometimes she moves between the above shown forms fluidly while pacing around in a lecture hall talking about evolution quirks, and other times abruptly pop back to her full size if she's trying to drive in a point during a conversation

Knacks

But She's Not Bitter (yes, she is) +3 Chastity envies those who have good relationships with their parents, even though her own 'do love her'. Or did, whatever, she's pretty sure they still peek into her mind while they sleep or if they feel nostalgia... She doesn't care for being 'part of their past' because she was never part of their present

Why Teach? Why Not? +3 Though she is a difficult professor to impress, she can definitely help shape growing minds in a positive manner rather than a negative one. She can even use her own bitter experiences as an example to those, to keep their heads on and their minds focused

Heroics Allow Some Fun +3 She will on occasion pop back over to Primal Earth (pff it's not even remotely the 'prime' earth what are they talking about) and knock some sense into street thugs or Circle of Thorns mages alike, blowing off steam (literally) and helping to keep one of her home-turf-s free from crime a little while longer

Sure She Also Has A Place On Zekira +2 Doesn't visit it too often but she really loves being able to fly with the Steeds and hunt things in dank forests, even if she's got to get that outfit cleaned afterwards. She has places in Z/L/Voket (woodlands and gardens), Z/K/Astan (more gardens), and Z/S/Vlan (a dream healing clinic)

***

He thought it was a good idea at the time. He was a god, why not? Take a nap in this odd dimension he'd disovered. He was tired! His large turquoise eyes drooped shut, they were only just darker than his aquamarine colored skin. His chin rested on his wide, ebony and green leather-clad chest. His bow would not be stolen, there was no one around, right? He fell to sleep and he dreamt.

She thought it was a good idea at the time. After all, a Nightmare's business in the Fields of the Foolish was to investigate any and all activity. Who would be stupid enough to sleep here? Well, apparently there was one. His shape was that of a god, obviously, it glowed dimly and said volumes about his power – the man-shaped lump below a tree was hardly his “true” shape after all.

He was dreaming something completely inappropriate, too. The mare gave off a hissing sound, it was more her flaming hooves touching the ground, than anything else. The god did not wake, but his mind did seek out hers, and the resulting shocking behavior on both their parts would be written about for generations.

When the result of their extremely unusual joining was born, her mother named her Pandemonium, and offered her gifts that would help her in the worlds which she would travel. Her father dubbed her Chastity, for he was a believer in the importance of names.

It was her mother's choice to offer her golden shoes for her hooves, but when one pair went on they gripped tightly and sprang terrible nails into the quick. The ones upon her forefeet were warm, causing sparks and flame to erupt if she was in too-dry litter.

Her father gave her a tiara, not knowing what it would do – little had he known it was probably this item that had attracted his Nightmare mate in the first place, a kingly glimmering Tiara of Sadism would crown her head and cause many to enjoy things they might not otherwise.

From her mother, a twisted compliment to the Tiara upon her head: the Belt of the Dreamer, hooked soundly around the clothing gifted to her by her father.

All these things put together, made Chastity a bit nervous. After all, she wasn't a true centaur – those creatures would certainly respect her, but never accept her because of her nightmarish wings; and she wasn't a god nor a true mortal – she drifted between those states, aware of dimensions and how they affected her; and she certainly wasn't a true nightmare either what with the having a humanoid torso and hands and all.

In short, she was confused. And angry – her parents grew her to a young adult age, and then dropped all this garbage on her, and said pretty much “have fun,” and went their separate ways. She has not seen nor heard from them in years. Much of her remains bitter, and she's glad that she hasn't had the chance to meet up with them again. If she did, they'd be getting an earfull.

Chastity did know that she was quite good with nature. She tended to sulk around in the spookier parts of it: ruins, marshes with willowisps, old overgrown cemetaries. But she did know her way around the woods, she could make trees grow and plants flower, or wither, and she also enjoyed invading mortal man's dreams with her tiara and her belt making it easy.

 

 

Dragon

Name: Deasakcolanath (dee ah sack COLA nath)
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: medium 11' s / 55' l / 90' ws
Colors: Brown Starry Blue with Black Boots
Features: semi-undead-mutt
Powers: Winged Flight - even with ragged looking wings like those, he can carry himself far into the skies, and likes shooting straight up or down cliffsides or buildings, he's good enough with his flight that he's never so much as cracked a window doing it. He's also big enough that he can carry his bond, should she want that as a respite from walking, even if she's in her taur form...
Teleportation - How do you get from point A to point B? In style, baby! Even if those two points are several hundred miles apart, he can teleport while in the air or on the ground, and in any shape, so buckle up and hold on tight we're going through the Netherworld this time! (His teleportation seems to be connected to his 'undead' feature?)
Telepathy (Verbal speech only shifted) - the feel of this dragon's mind on yours is like room-temperature Guinness, there's a strange warmth to it, but also bizarrely bitter in the back of your throat, not unpleasant because then the booze kicks in. He has a staggering range of over 100 miles with his normal telepathic communication, but keeps it closer overall because there's a lot of people within 100 miles... O.O
Full Shapeshifting - How full is full? Enough that you might not recognize him with his darkly brown skin, blue moptop, and 'fancy dark gloves' on his hands... But being human is kinda dull, and like his bond he enjoys having wings and a tail more than wobbling about with only four total limbs
Fire! Breath, Influence, Conjure - you name it, Dea is on it. Beach bonfire? You bet! Whoops you set your kitchen on fire and can't get it to stop, well now it's outside where he can stamp on it with adept paws see no more fire. He helps in class with demonstrations!
Parentage: Coronataith and Pinth (the Reject Pile clutch)
Origin: Spectral Wilds Rainbow Glitz, Ktrenal art
Other Info: strangely opposite his bond, Dea values love, hates upsetting others, but is strong willed and loves a good fight. Also note is technically a Selamputo so there's that whole mess of relatives out there! He probably does fancy his bond, so it's probably a matter of time before they find a way to make either a clutch or a baby, given her history it should be a baby because raising one is better than watching them all go their separate ways right?
